haeyeon successfully entered the ymc building after having a small trouble, and then began to wander around, trying to find the receptionist.

after a minute or two, she found it, it's at the corner.

whomst the fuck decided to build it there, isn't it a common knowledge to build the receptionist at the most obvious place?

she clicked her tongue, but put on a smile anyway, "hello, i am a new part timer. may i know where should i go?"

the lady raised her head from her phone, "oh, hello. you're the new illustrator?"

haeyeon nodded, not really.

"well, firstly, let me get you your workers card." the lady started looking through her drawers, "how did you get in anyway? you don't have the card."

"uhh, i asked the guard to open the door."

"oh, like how exo chanyeol said? this is ymc tho. i thought the guard wouldn't let you in, since there are always a lot of fans outside. the power of wanna one, hm." she laughed.

haeyeon laughed along, but her inner self was screaming BITCH JUST DO YOUR THINGS FASTER GIRL AIN'T GOT THAT TIME TO TALK SHIT WITH YA I HAVE A DUDE TO SEARCH FOR.

but, well, smile. yes, smile. be nice.

"here's your card," the quite talkative receptionist handed haeyeon a temporary worker's card, "and-- just take the elevator and go to the second floor, turn left and the third room will be where you work."

haeyeon nodded, registering all the information given into her brain, making sure that she missed nothing.

"thank you, have a nice day!"

"you too, good luck on your first day."

"hmm, okay now which room do i enter."

haeyeon stood at the hallway, tapping on her chin.

yes, she forgot what the lady said.

fuck her short-term memory.

maybe i can seek help from mr stranger. he's in ymc, he might know.

haeyeon
guess what stranger i forgot where i should head to, send help asap pls
message not delivered

——

she clicked her tongue in annoyance, not delivered? why now out of all time?

"fuck it, i'll just search room by room."

just as how she said, haeyeon began entering room by room.

first room, knock knock.

no response.

i guess i'll just enter then...?

haeyeon pushed open the door, and saw a fine looking man sleeping inside. it is an incredibly small room with soundproof walls, most probably for vocal trainings or rap trainings. the chest of the man was lifting up and down, he seems to be in a deep sleep, even the sound of the door creaking open did not wake him up.

he wore a white cap, a grey hoodie and a pair of jeans, leaning comfortably on the chair. his head was titled to a side, eyes shut, earphones plugged in, a phone placed on the table next to him.

probably his phone.

haeyeon stayed at the entrance, still remaining the "opening a door" posture, a funny one. she blinked a few times, debating whether she should wake him up.

it's working hours anyway, what if he's slacking off? hmph, that's unfair!

deciding to be the justice maniac, she carefully entered the small room, approaching the asleep man.

"hello?" she called out softly, because what if he got frightened and attacks her?

the man did not response, not even moving a single pringle bit.

"hello?" she repeated once again.

still no response.

haeyeon pursed her lips, about to leave but she found herself unable to. her body refuses to cooperate.

having no choice, she gave up and started examining his features.

he looked a little familiar to her.

it's not like she met him before, but it's like she saw it somewhere, whether in real life or not.

his cheeks. so fluffy-

she wanted to pinch them.

no, haeyeon. he's a stranger, you don't do that to strangers.

she nodded to herself, eyes closed before she took in a deep breath.

suddenly, a small notification reminder rang, it sounded loud in the silent atmosphere. the screen of the phone on the table lighted up, and haeyeon being the busybody she is decided to look at it.

"wha-"

she forgot to control her volume.

the man fluttered his eyes open, woke up by haeyeon's shocked gasp.

haeyeon turned around, and now it's the man's turn to be shocked.

"wha-" he became wide awake, immediately tensing up. he blinked a few times, looking at the girl in front him.

he rubbed his eyes, it is indeed haeyeon.

haeyeon twitched her eyebrows, this voice. it's familiar. so damn familiar.

she pointed at him, "you're the wanna one dude."

the man remained silent before finally reacting, "...yes."

"well, you're even better than what i imagined!" haeyeon smiled, the nervousness that was on her vanishing now that she made sure it is someone she knew.

"uh, thanks." the man scratched his nape.

"so, i'm haeyeon... well, you know that already. what's your name?" haeyeon stuck out her hand for a handshake.

"i'm kim jaehwan..." jaehwan returned the handshake, "...from wanna one."

haeyeon hummed, chill and stuff but remembered something, "waiT YOU'RE THE ONE THAT MENTIONED PENTAGON!"

jaehwan nodded, beginning to relax, "yeap."

"nO WONDER YOU WERE ASKING ME 'how do you think of the guy?'!!!" haeyeon is so excited that she even imitated his tone back then during the phone call.

jaehwan nodded more, "that's me."

he then glanced at the clock, "wait, shouldn't you be working now?"

"huh?"

"it's already a quarter left to 9!!"

"WHAT- oh no, i'm being late on my first day i can't believe this i-" haeyeon began getting nervous, about to rush outside the room.

"do you know where to go?"

she stopped, "...no."

"...i'll lead you."
